Auburn not afraid to run with UNC, but Tigers have ‘healthy fear and respect’ for Sweet 16 opponent

Posted Mar 26, 2019
Historically, Bruce Pearl knows the best way to beat one of Roy Williams’ North Carolina teams is to slow the game down and work out of the half-court set. That’s not Auburn’s style, though; the Tigers like to run and gun. The problem is, so do the Tar Heels. It’s the quandary Pearl and his team face ahead of Friday’s Sweet 16 meeting with UNC in Kansas City. (AL.com)
